As a retired educator I loved the old fashioned schoolhouse charm of this property. The house is cozy and comfortable with ample indoor and outdoor games and options. The mountain setting is peaceful. It is definitely one I hope to book again.

We LOVED this vacation home! We would love to go back and spend a week. The mountains were so beautiful with the leaves changing colors. The schoolhouse was cozy and so comfortable. We loved being able to have drinks in the evening on the deck. We had such a wonderful time. We highly recommend this vacation location.

Larry and I had a wonderful stay at the little schoolhouse. We were close to Mt. Airy "Mayberry" and it was quite simple to travel between the house and town. We spent a lot of our time sitting on the front porch, looking at the beauty around us, and just enjoying downtime from the everyday stresses of life. Everything was clean and well cared for. There were snacks and drinks to help us get settled in. We will definitely be coming back!

This truly is a gem. This old school house had everything we needed. This area is somewhat remote, but we still had access to WiFi TV and a phone. BBQ grill was great while we enjoyed watching Humming Birds and listening to the Dan River. The river was teaming with trout by road access. We look forward to returning.
